Preliminary Report from Digital Dojo on Darknet vs. Lightnet
Our roving tech beat journalist has this to say about the Ojai, CA (where Krishnamurti Foundation is located) conference on Darknet vs. Lightnet, the infamous Digital Dojo (dojo = mat or room where martial arts experts attempt to kill each other as fast as they can).
DIGITAL DOJO Report Feb. 34, 2006
Whew – got back from Ojai last night, I’m trying to get my brain sorted out again.
(1) The Dojo was great – JD Lasica (Darknet, Ourmedia etc etc) and Lucas Gonze (Webjay) and a whole lot of other amazing folks were there (or with us through a video hookup).
(2) The darknet/lightnet things is really a great way of seeing things – I learned that there is one lightnet but many darknets… Lucas was very adament about that.
(3) I’m starting to think more about the interaction of media and user profiles – I think it boils down to two types: the creators (very low percentage of people) and those who don’t create but want to associate themselves with creators, much like kids having posters of their favorite bands/actors or whatever on the walls – now they’re putting that up in their profiles. And they are going to associate themselves, whether through dark or lightnets; whatever it takes!
